Absolutely cannot wait until my AR implants show me a vision of Tim Allen in my kitchen and while I sob he starts reciting unedited chunks of disqus comments because they overindexed DIY blog posts from 2011 and it doesn't understand "old craftsman home galvanized pipes leaking".

Just to be clear - I have no concerns that DoorDash/Uber/Lyft/et al would ever fail because of their respective insurance divisions. I trust the CAS folks. I just love imagining major tech companies burning a bunch of Excel files to a CD and mailing them to a PO box in Hawaii.

The words "DoorDash's Captive" really sent me off the deep end tonight so I had to come back to tell all 7 people on Actuary Twitter about it

A thriving platform where they clearly understand the value of identity verification and definitely scrutinize promoted content from recently onboarded customers to ensure all new revenue meets their high bar of quality and is a net positive for ads ecosystem health

Hey @yacineMTB is there a pcpartpicker equivalent out there focused on consumers who want to play with AI systems?. I've got an RTX 3070 and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 4090, but I'd be sad if I bought the wrong <random part> that's optimized for Twitch instead of transformers.

If your therapist asks whether you know who Sam Altman is then you should just leave the zoom call.

Just remembered that I have a Wells Fargo account with $1000 in it somewhere because there was a Wachovia branch on my university's campus when I was 18. I'm not using it, so there's room to put $249k Risk Free in there if anyone wants to borrow it.

Bleakest thing I've heard all week is that if you repeat it enough times, apparently 5-10 years is "long duration" now.

I'm trained to repeat phrases like "windows and walls" whenever I hear anything about bank or banking group solvency and there's nothing you can do to break me.

open a new incognito tab and search for "adversarial LLM training" in the waiting room just in case anyone is watching my screen.

Type of guy who watches "how to get started with logseq" videos but takes notes in a moleskin.
